Drunk Lovers, from BORNTOSTANDOUT® was released in 2023. The perfumer behind this creation is Hamid Merati-Kashani. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Cognac, Grapefruit, Juniper, Lemon, and Red Berries, middle notes of Clary Sage, Cypress, Ginger, and Pepper, and base notes of Amber, Benzoin, Cardamom, Cedarwood, Cinnamon, Musk, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Vetiver.
This fragrance smells like a Saturday night in a nightclub, plenty of alcohol, a handsome stranger, an intoxicating night, and the scent of his cologne left on the pillow. It opens with a mix of red berries and a generous splash of cognac. Then the sweetness of vanilla appears, blended with amber on a woody base. It’s a true unisex scent with the perfect balance of sweetness and woodsy notes. Projection is average, and longevity is around five hours. I don’t find it similar to Narcotic Delight, which is much sweeter and has a strong tobacco note I’m not fond of in fragrances. It’s not Black Phantom either as this one develops in a completely different way.
